SERVICE > GLOBAL SERVICE OPERATIONS > DRIVE TRAIN

The Powertrain Engineering department in Turbine operations is an integral part of Global Service Operations Engineering. The department supports all three pillars of Vestas Service: onshore, offshore and multibrand business.
In Powertrain, we provide best-in-class service solutions for products out of CIM warranty, but not exclusively. We are in close collaboration with Vestas R&D department and understand ourselves as experts in our domain and provide solid technical expertise to the service organization concerning main components repair, industrialization of service solutions, maintenance and product performance, lifetime extensions, continuous improvement, etc.
In sum, we are central members in the value chain with great contribution to keeping turbines spinning to create value for our customers.
